EATON – Donors will get a chance to win a deluxe Hawaii vacation for two at the Eaton Fire & EMS Station 2 community blood drive Thursday, July 23 from 3-7 p.m. in the station meeting room, 391 West Lexington Road. Everyone who registers to donate will receive a free “Donor Surf Co.” surfboard t-shirt and everyone age 18 and older will also be entered in the Community Blood Center (CBC) “Get on Board – Give Blood” summer blood drive drawing to win an expense-paid Hawaii vacation for two.
